June 4th (rain date June 5th) at Flying M Aerodrome (P91), which is NW of Allentown, PA. This airport used to be known for great family fly-in breakfasts dinners in years past, but has been pretty quite recently due to a change of ownership. They're trying to bring things back to the way they were. It may take a while, but they've got to start somewhere. Unfortunately, this is the same weekend as the WWII event at Reading Airport, but you could always do both. Besides, I don't think there'll be too many Kolbs sharing the pattern with P-47's B-17's.The airport is a 2400' East-West grass runway. The cost is $5 - all you can eat. The time is 8am to Noon. The place has been a ghost-town over recent years, but it's starting to come back - slowly. It breaks my heart. I used to instruct tow gliders there. It was a great scenic place with a ton of potential. We'll see what happens. My Firefly will be there in pieces. The build process (or re-build as it were) is moving along slowly. Sure would be nice to see some local Kolbs show up!!Bob PongraczFogelsville, PAFirefly project No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.

At the airport today I ran across a fellow who has a 0 timed Rev Master VW conversion engine for sale. All he could tell me is that it is a 4 cylinder, 75 HP, with mag or mags, elect start and an oil filter. It was purchased for a Var Easy kit which is not completed. Price of engine is $5000.00. It is located in PA. not far from Harrisburg at Indiantown Gap. The Var Easy is also for sale but not Kolb related If anyone is interested email me off list and I will get you together with him.

As I have said many times the direct drive VWs just doesn't have enough thrust for Kolbs. You can't mount the Valley reduction drive on these engines. Also as I found out at Sun-N-Fun direct drive engines are configured as pushers or tractors. If you run a engine that is built to handle the thrust loads for a tractor and put it on a plane were you use it as a pusher you will likely have bearing problems.
